Also on July 11, Musk again responded to a user who indicated that the SEC should investigate Twitter’s assertions about the number of spam bots on its platform.

“Hello??? @SECGov,” Musk tweeted. All he needed was a “it’s me” to turn this into an Adele song.

In reference to the call to the regulatory agency, Twitter stated that it was clear that Musk wanted out of the “binding agreement” no one forced him to enter into and also “damage Twitter in the process.”

I mean, the company isn’t wrong. The open question now is how much damage Musk will inflict in this situation and whether the social media platform can survive it.

Considering Musk’s obsession with Twitter and attention, there’s no doubt that Twitter will have to update its lawsuit in the near future to include even more tweets. Will they be enough to tilt the case in Twitter’s favor? Only time will tell.
